Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is arbitration?

Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution method where a neutral third party, known as an arbitrator, hears both sides of a dispute and makes a binding or non-binding decision to resolve the issue. It is often faster and more cost-effective than going to court.
How is arbitration different from mediation?

While both are dispute resolution methods, arbitration involves a decision made by the arbitrator (which may be binding or non-binding), whereas mediation facilitates negotiations between parties to reach a mutually agreed solution, without the mediator making decisions.
